heritage trust

Preservation oversight body

A heritage trust is an organization that preserves historically or culturally significant properties, landscapes, or artifacts.

These trusts typically acquire and maintain sites of architectural, natural, or historical importance—old buildings, estates, battlefields, or parklands—holding them in perpetuity for public benefit: The heritage trust restored the Victorian manor and opened it to visitors.
